I ask him to answer the Deputy in writing as I have to move on. I call Deputy Paul Murphy.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 1,044 of 1,051 decisive votes (3 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

I ask him to answer the Deputy in writing as I have to move on. I call Deputy Paul Murphy.
I call Deputy Colm Burke who is sharing time with Deputy Cahill.
I wish to clarify that there will be no concluding remarks section for the Minister. We will move on to Deputy Marc MacSharry.
Deputy O'Donoghue is sharing time with Deputy Michael Collins.
I thank Deputy Collins. I am calling the next speaker, Deputy Catherine Connolly.
I thank the Deputy. Her time is up.
I understand the Minister is sharing his time with the Deputy Devlin.
If the Minister has a few more words to say, he can use the time.
No. Does the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, wish to contribute?
We move on to the second group. Deputy Cullinane has ten minutes for questions and answers.
The next speakers are Deputies Christopher O'Sullivan and Cathal Crowe. Is Deputy O'Sullivan making a statement or asking questions, or both?
I call Deputy Seán Crowe. How does the Deputy wish to make his contribution?
The Minister gets to answer one of those. He has 30 seconds.
Yes.
The Minister will have a period at the end where he can do that. Deputy Daly has three and a half minutes. Has the Deputy questions or a statement?
The next speaker is Deputy Gino Kenny. Is it questions or statements?
It is Deputy Gino Kenny's time. He asked the question.
We are back to the Government side with Deputy Colm Burke. Is it statements or questions and answers?
I call Deputy Seán Canney for questions and answers or statements.
I call Deputy Dara Calleary, who is sharing time with Deputy Kieran O'Donnell. The Deputy can make a statement or have questions and answers.
